Can An Enlarged Liver Shrink Back To Its Size After Treatment?
Hi, I just got some test results about my enlarged liver and spleen. My blood work was done a few months back and all was very healthy. Cholestrol was great. I am 33 and I am very nervous right now until I see the doc Jan 6!!! Does a liver ever go back to normal after being enlarged. Should I be exercising? And should I be worried?

It depends on exact cause if this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. however if there is infectious disease or biliary duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment.
